Hello. I was in mybb cpanel messing around with the "users & groups" section, and accidentally deleted my admin account. When that happened, it logged me out mybb and now I cant log back in. Saying wrong log-in information.
How can I get back in?
Any help is much appreciated!
James.
Edit: Anyone?
Register with a new user, open the "inc/config.php" file and change the super admin ($config['superadmin']) to your new id. Afterwards you can enter the acp and add yourself to the admin group.

What about the password?
Thank you very much for the reply.
Edit: This is the line I need: $config['super_admin'] = '1'; I just change the super_admin to a username?
^ you have to add the
new user ID. if
x is your new user ID then it can be like below
$config['super_admin'] = '1, x';
however I am
not sure that suggested method works and you can log into admin panel with new user credentials

Got this when I refreshed the page after applying the fix.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /home3/ja****70/public_html/mywebsite.com/inc/config.php on line 70
This is what I put: $config['super_admin'] = '1', Founder'; <-- is that wrong?
Asterisks and mywebsite.com is my doing.
Change it to the user ID (found for example in your profile link)

Sorry, Im not really savvy in this area. You want me to change the name I used (Founder) to my user ID? What is my user ID? A number?
Right now it's: $config['super_admin'] = '1, Founder';
Go to your profile. The url should either look like this: "http://site/user-x.html" or like "http://site/member.php?action=profile&uid=x" where x is your user id.
Afterwards change the line in config.php to:
$config['super_admin'] = 'x';
Is this the right file to be in: public_html/mywebsite.com/inc/config.php
If so, I changed this
$config['super_admin'] = '1, Founder';
to
$config['super_admin'] = 'x';
and tried to log-in mybb cpanel with founder as s/n and used the password stored in config.php, and it didn't work.
Edit: How do I find what my user ID is?
Have you read what I wrote? x should be your user id, it is described above how you get it.
